Von Koenigseggâs bald pate and his mellifluous, lightly accented English, not to mention his headquarters on a remote, decommissioned military base, bring to mind a Bond villain. And the association is apt, for while von Koenigseggâs ambitions may not be malevolent, heâs nevertheless bent on world domination, at least in the realm of seven-figure supercars. The automobile industry is littered with the skeletons of failed startups driven by a single manâs all-consuming vision.
Koenigsegg has outperformed existing production car speed records during a practice session in the groundbreaking Koenigsegg One:1 Megacar, headlined by a 0-300-0 kmh time of just 17.95 seconds. Koenigsegg stunned the world in September 2011 when it set a Guinness World Record time of 21.19 seconds for the 0-300-0 kmh run in the Koenigsegg Agera R. The time achieved by the Koenigsegg One:1 cuts a full 3.24 seconds from what was already considered to be an unbeatable time. The record-beating run was one of a series of runs conducted in a practice session at the Koenigsegg test track in Ãngelholm, Sweden.
